DIY Digital synthesis, anyone?

Speaking of 12th order filters, has anyone investigated thier possible usefulness
 as the main filter in a typical VCO>VCF>VCA patch?  I tried putting two 4 pole
 lowpass filters in series on my modular for an 8 pole response but there wasn't 
much audible difference from the one filter approach.  Anybody else have 
experience with this?
